Lin Xuan smiled modestly. If this group of people knew that not only did he successfully escape, but he also killed three of them, he wondered what their expressions would be.
"Big brother, where is the Hundred Herb Hall I'm going to?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Little brother, you should enter the city and wait for two days. This mission has already been upgraded. I'm afraid it's not something that can be completed by one or two people."
"Upgraded?" Lin Xuan was puzzled. "This means that the mission's difficulty has increased."
However, since he was already here, he had to try no matter how difficult it was. Lin Xuan followed these people into the city.
"I'll take you to the Combat Hall first." The scarred man smiled as he led the way.
The layout of this city was similar to other cities, but there were no ordinary people here. They were all martial artists from the Body Refinement to the Meridian Condensation realm.
Lin Xuan found that those with lower cultivations were mostly in charge of logistics, while those with higher cultivations were in charge of defense.
Along the way, Lin Xuan kept looking around and marveled in his heart.
Not long after, he followed the scarred man to a mansion. Inside, there were many halls and countless pavilions.
This used to be the City Lord's mansion, but it was now a base of operations. The scarred man said that the Combat Hall was inside.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Combat Hall. It was located in a secluded area of the City Lord's mansion.
Walking into the Combat Hall, Lin Xuan found that there were already many people inside. Most of them were youths with cultivations above the eighth level of the Meridian Condensation realm. There were even some ninth level Meridian Condensation realm cultivators.
These people were all young elites, disciples of sects and aristocratic families.
Lin Xuan's arrival naturally attracted the attention of others. In an instant, countless gazes were imprinted on him.
"Meridian Condensation realm eighth level, so weak. Who is this kid?" Many people were puzzled.
Lin Xuan's cultivation was not outstanding. At least among these people, he was at the bottom. However, in terms of strength, it was a different story.
"This is Black Sky Sect's Young Hero Lin. He also participated in the Hundred Herb Hall mission." The scarred man introduced, "Young Hero Lin managed to escape from six Eagle Men, and that's how he came to Beiwei City."
"The six Eagle Men have successfully escaped!" Immediately, those disdainful gazes disappeared, and the youths in the hall began to seriously size up Lin Xuan.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the front.
Lin Xuan raised his head and found Fan Chong sitting in front of him, his eyes dark.
Everyone seemed to have noticed Fan Chong's abnormal reaction, and many of them had playful looks in their eyes.
"When can we make our move?" someone asked. "Are we supposed to keep waiting?"
"It's like this. Originally, this was just a simple rescue mission. We only needed to rescue the people trapped in Hundred Herb Hall." The scarred man continued, "However, a huge battle broke out in Mountain Overlook City not long ago. The situation there has become extremely dangerous. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to rescue the people of Hundred Herb Hall."
"Even if Mountain Overlook City is dangerous, it shouldn't be a problem if we dispatch some elites." Someone asked.
"After that battle, the general was poisoned, and the key to curing the poison lies in Hundred Herb Hall. Therefore, the demons will definitely send more people." The scarred man sighed.
"I see." Lin Xuan suddenly understood. It seemed that this mission wasn't simple.
"However, everyone, don't worry. When the time comes, Deputy General Lord Zeng will lead the elites and move with you."
"Anyone who can help will receive battle merit points."
"Battle merit points!" The youths' eyes lit up. Aside from the medicinal ingredients, they had participated in this mission for the battle merit points.
Seeing Lin Xuan's confusion, the scarred man explained, "These battle merit points can be exchanged for resources at any martial hall in Xia Country. For example, secret manuals, divine weapons, etc. As long as you have enough battle merit points, you can exchange them."
As for the battle merit points, it was distributed based on the completion of the mission and the performance of the enemy.
"Martial Hall exchange for resources!" Lin Xuan nodded. He finally understood why these youths were so happy. It was because they could exchange for all kinds of resources.
Xia Country's martial halls couldn't be compared to ordinary sects. The things inside were all obtained by gathering the strength of an entire country. None of them were ordinary.
At this moment, a young girl wearing a silver robe slowly walked over. Her long and narrow eyes were suffused with a cold light, like gems.
When the silver robed girl walked into the main hall and saw Lin Xuan, her aura suddenly fluctuated.
As if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, all the youths in the main hall tensed up and found it difficult to breathe.
"Spirit Sea Realm!" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with fear.
The silver robed girl didn't look very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old. However, the aura on her body far surpassed everyone else.
Fan Chong and the other rank nine Meridian Condensation Stage martial artists were also shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
At the Spirit Sea Realm, nine spirit veins converged and formed a spirit sea in the body. Once formed, a martial artist's body would undergo earth-shattering changes. However, not every rank nine Meridian Condensation Stage martial artist could enter the Spirit Sea Realm.
Many martial artists were stuck at this stage for decades. This was a common occurrence. However, this young girl had actually broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm at such a young age. Her talent was frightening.
Fan Chong took a deep breath. Perhaps in the entire Black Sky Sect, only the Myriad Sword Star could compare to her.
The silver robed girl was like a high and mighty king, looking down at everyone. To be more precise, she was looking at Lin Xuan.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Lin Xuan!" The silver robed girl's voice was cold, without a trace of anger.
"Lin Xuan? She actually knows Lin Xuan! "Fan Chong's pupils shrank. The others also looked at each other.
"Hello, Little Yue Yue!" Lin Xuan tried his best to calm down. His heart was in turmoil. This young girl was actually from his clan, and also from the Sword Pool Manor's Lin Family, Lin Yue.
"Hmph!" The silver robed girl Lin Yue frowned. Her aura crazily rushed towards Lin Xuan, as if wanting to devour him.
Lin Xuan's body also surged with an aura that was incomparably sharp, as if it could split everything in half.
"This name is not something you can call me by." Lin Yue's aura receded like the tide. Then, she looked deeply at Lin Xuan and left.
"Sword Pool Manor, one day I will return!" Lin Xuan's sharp aura also gradually faded away.
This scene made everyone look at each other. How did this young man know such a proud girl? Moreover, their relationship was somewhat hostile?
Lin Xuan didn't explain to the crowd. Instead, it was the scarred man who explained the silver robed girl's situation. A sixteen-year-old Spirit Sea Realm martial artist, and also a master of weapon nurturing. She was in charge of the entire base's weapon nurturing.
Lin Xuan found a seat and sat down. His heart couldn't calm down. This Lin Yue's talent was only considered to be above average in the family. She wasn't the best, but she had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm. He was afraid that those people would be even stronger.
"There's still a year and a half left. I must return to the family before then and obtain a spot to enter the ancestral land!"
